Did you know that 97% of roads in Sweden are dirt roads like pic related?

Looks cozy.

Much easier to repair, in a place with extreme cold and lots of rain. It's the same here in Patagonia.

that is one sexy dirt road though, well maintained.

>>212528225 (OP)

>>212528320
dirt roads in poortaly look like baghdad

>>212528225 (OP)

>>212528386

Fuck Birches. Their leafs and seeds make a mess during autumn, u gotta be cleaning your garden every other day.

>>212528225 (OP)
Only comfy when it would snow

I wish it was the same in Poland (because I drive a 4x4 vehicle with plenty of ground clearance)

>>212528661
go organic

>>212528225 (OP)
I'm pretty sure that's not accurate. I drive for work in a northern municipality, and paved roads are much more common. It's mostly the smaller villages that have dirt roads and between larger villages.

>>212528863
What did u mean by this

>>212529160
just leave them

>>212529454
My autism could never. I need to have the garden as clean and green as i can.

>>212529508
suit yourself

>you molested and mudered 100 children? here's a weekly allowance and free hotel room for the next 2 years. also here's a guitar and a PS4

>the citizens need a paved road? JUST PUT A FUCKING DIRT ROAD DOWN, they don't need a real road....

Can snowniggers unironically explain themselves? even if this is hyperbolic, it's still true.

>>212529590
Ruralniggers don't deserve roads

>>212528225 (OP)
that's a finnish thing (at least for geoguessr meta)

>>212528225 (OP)
makes sense when 90% of the country is empty

>>212528225 (OP)
Imagine being able to go on a hike in nature without worrying about

>encampments of feral gypsies
>illegal loggers
>industrial waste leachate
>informal dumping grounds in random spots

couldn't be my country

>you shoot up elementary school and kill 30 little kids? poor soul, here free room & board and a weekly allowance.

>you need road? perkele, we no have the funds...

>>212530200
You still have proper bears who snack on Italian motorcyclists.
That's more nature than most other EU countries.

>>212530235
As well as packs of feral dogs roaming the wild from all those strays that got abandoned in the 90s. So not only do we conserve nature, we add more sovl to it

>>212529008
no bro this is no nuance /int/
OP has a dirt road near his house so 70% of all roads are dirt roads

>>212530200
what do the loggers do when they see you?

OH NO NO NO NO NO

>>212531094
ok but we don't pay like 60% taxes and we're 100x larger than you

>>212531094
what do they eat

>>212528661
Brown

>>212528225 (OP)
based. i love roads like this, have a lot in BC too. filters cityfags with their shitty cars.

your patagonian roads suck because the people in charge of them are all thieves

>>212531149
and we have twice the amount of road per square km than you
and if you'd live in somewhere like rural minnesota, you would know that a gravel road stays in a far better condition than an asphalt road, if it's not constantly maintained, and it's easier and cheaper to repair
it makes no sense to pave a road that sees almost no traffic and just rots away in a winter or two

>>212531149
>>212531094
i dont understand the problem here. the US has an insane amount of gridding(idk if there is a better term for this) in its road networks, especially in the prairies. this is visible too north of the 49th in saskatchewan and manitoba. you dont need to (or should even bother to) pave every single connecter road between the major highways that go east/west or north/south. this is only a problem when major arteries of transport are gravel and cannot facilitate 18 wheelers at highspeeds or at all.

>Dirt road

>>212530463
Are the dogs agressive by default?

>>212532388
gravel road may be more descriptive, that gravel has been transported there from some quarry to make the road

>>212531963
HOW THE FUCK EVEN THE ROADS CAN BE STRAIGHT LINES LIKE THE STATE BORDERS IN THE NEW WORLD WTF???

>>212532651
yeah i mean theres nothing in the way in the great plains.

>>212532651
because the whole thing was planned by some guy 100s of kms away.

>>212532651
early medieval german colonies were organically designed but later medieval german colonies were patterned and designed by aristocrats. tis simply central planning.

>>212528225 (OP)
yes and they mostly lead into nothing and its based af. thats sweden, not stockholm or malmø. why are you letting these places die?

>>212532651
Because it was all planned out by engineers? Examples of organic development in America are extremely rare and pretty much all in the oldest settlements of the East Coast. Out in the midwest like in that pic it would have been settled in the 19th century.

>>212529008
no he is right. you might not do much work on these roads since its mostly logging roads, i camp around and sometimes do illegal offroad driving in all of norway and sweden. sweden is great in that for every km of prepared highway there is a couple of 10+ km dirt roads branching out into nothing. best thing is when the forest roads from one valley ends just a km from the forest roads from the other valley, then we make our way between them instead of going 200km around.

No hills, boulders, ponds, lakes?

>>212533709
no. boulders are common some places and nearly impossible to find in others, something to do with how the glaciers receded at the end of the ice age. ponds/lakes yes are avoided but are not that common they disrupt the straight line that much. hills no, the great plains is very flat. any change of elevation is usually so subtle you wont notice or just so uncommon it hardly changes any of the roads. creeks get bridges built over them, patches of trees get clear cut if its cheaper than going around(usually is in the prairies.)

Looked this place up after seeing it on a video about old tornados, looks comfy

>>212533662
>sweden is great in that for every km of prepared highway there is a couple of 10+ km dirt roads branching out into nothing.
same thing here in BC
> illegal offroad
why is it illegal? are you on active logging roads?

>>212533709
>hill
just build through it

>>212528225 (OP)
correct approach for the skandinavians. asphalt decays fast when frozen.
our northern cities cover roads with asphalt, but they crumble to pieces and get repaired every year. pretty much waste of budgets.
